Individual Appointments

Students may schedule a one-on-one appointment with a career counselor to work on their career plans by requesting an appointment in Handshake: https://uky.joinhandshake.com/.

Handshake is our new career services platform (replacing Wildcat CareerLink). All current students have Handshake accounts already. Just utilize your link blue credentials to gain access from the link above.

Select “Career Center” on navigation menu at the top of the page

Choose “Appointments” from the drop-down menu.

Next click “Schedule A New Appointment” at the top left corner of the page

Choose the category: BUSINESS MAJORS: Graham Office of Career Management

Choose an “Appointment Type” that best corresponds with your current needs

Choose the appointment slot that works best with your schedule. You may toggle between weeks, days, appointment types, staff member, etc. at the top of the page.

Be sure to click “Request” at the bottom of the page after you complete a very brief survey to help your career counselor prepare. Your appointment will be confirmed and you will also get a reminder via email prior to your appointment.
